Evans lighters, but no one who likes to collect smoking equipment, I am afraid that no one does not know, this is a very old lighter brand from the United States. ￥℉ Apex Novel, www.

The lighters they produce have their own characteristics, so they are very popular in the market.

Different from world-famous lighters such as Givenchy, Zhibao, Dupont, and Cardele, Zhibao is famous all over the world because it was the standard configuration of the US military in World War II, while lighters such as Givenchy, Dupont, and Cardele are because Their fame in the jewelry industry was made famous.

The brand Evans relies on a long history and professionalism. From the very beginning of its establishment, it has been making lighters.

Because the brand has a long history, and each batch of production is high-quality products, the sales scale has always been small, so this brand of lighters is not widely circulated in the market, especially the products before the 1940s.

The products at that time belonged to the products before large-scale industrialization, and most of them were made by hand and machine processing, so the output was very rare.

But as long as they can be preserved to the present and are of good quality, there is basically no need to worry about selling them.

But it was in the antique market in the United States. Jin Muchen really didn't expect that he would be able to encounter it in Panjiayuan today. You must know that in China, such fine antique lighters are really rare.

There is also a group of Tibetan friends in China who like to collect smoking sets, but most of their energy is placed on the treasure. Givenchy. Collect lighters like Dupont. And there are collectors of genuine antique lighters like Evans who know and love them, but not many.

"Boss, your lighter is well preserved! Evans lighters of this era can be maintained in such good condition, which is rare in the domestic market."

Jin Muchen said with a smile, while talking. While playing with the lighter in his hand, when the boss heard this, he knew that Jin Muchen was a knowledgeable guy, and immediately opened the chat box.

"Yeah! This lighter has been in my family for some years. It was passed down from my grandfather back then, and I brought it to the capital from Xiangjiang. Unfortunately, I haven't met anyone who knows the product before..."

It turns out that this boss came from Xiangjiang, but he is obviously two-way with the other group of guys in Xiangjiang who like to argue with the mainland. He is obviously more optimistic about the future development of the mainland. (Baidu search network has the fastest and most stable update) So I looked north to Shenzhou a few years ago, and brought my family to the capital. Bought a store in Panjiayuan and started his own antique business in Beijing.

No wonder the antique shop he runs is obviously different from the other antique shops here.

The items in his shop are obviously European or British, and most of them are British antiques. These items were collected by their ancestors in Xiangjiang for several generations.

At that time, the owner also wanted to be unique, so he brought these foreign antiques to China. It is precisely because of his unique Western style here that this shop is relatively well-known in the antique collection circle in Beijing.

Jin Muchen had never been in the collection circle in the capital before, so he really didn't know much about their family's situation.

"Hey, boss, you're looking at this..."

As the boss said, he took another lighter from the Bogu shelf and pushed it in front of Jin Muchen.

This lighter is much larger than the Evans lighter he had seen before.

In terms of size, it is taller than an ordinary cigarette case, but the bottom is a rectangular painted porcelain box with a lid. The top of the lid is a gilt copper lighter lighter, and there is a small one at the bottom. Porcelain plates also have beautiful painted patterns on them.

It looks very beautiful. Jin Muchen knows that this thing is a three-piece set. In professional terms, it is called a desktop lighter.

The porcelain box below is used to hold cigarettes, the small plate below is the soot dish, and the lighter above it. Just by looking at this three-piece set, you can tell that it should be a product before the 1920s, because in the second After the 1900s, such things were rarely produced.

After all, after the paper cigarette case, or steel or copper cigarette case, which is more convenient to carry, is invented, who is willing to use such a smoking set?

Large, bulky, and inconvenient to carry, such a smoking set is destined to be the desk play of those dignitaries.

However, although as a smoking set, such a three-piece set is basically difficult to find in the market, as a collectible, such a three-piece set is very popular in the market.

Especially if this three-piece set is still produced by Langsen, it is even more incredible!

Like Evans, Ronson is one of the well-known lighter brands in the United States, but on the mainland side, it is even more famous than Evans.

The reason is very simple. Back then, Sun Dapao's wife also liked to smoke, and her favorite smoking set was the Langson brand. Back then, she herself had a lot of Langson lighters, both portable and desktop, so at that time, Langson lighters, It is very popular in the circle of dignitaries and dignitaries in China. To have one is a symbol of identity and status.

Now, the two brands, Langson and Evans, are two of the top ten most popular antique lighter brands in the collection industry, so Jin Muchen only took a few glances, and the more he looked at this desktop lighter, the more like.

This three-piece set is very well preserved. The paintings on the porcelain cigarette case have four sides, and they are painted with different flowers, including roses, jasmine, tulips, and peonies, which look beautiful and beautiful.

The igniter above is also of gilt-bronze quality. It is very well preserved. Even if you pick it up now and move it lightly, you can still do it a little bit.

Not to mention the preservation of the porcelain dish below, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as complete and like new. It is very likely that its previous owners were simply reluctant to drop soot bombs in this porcelain dish.

"Langson's three-piece suit is so well preserved, it's rare now!"

Jin Muchen kept playing with the three-piece set of Lanson lighters. The Evans lighter had already brought him a lot of surprises, and now this three-piece set of Longson made him even more addicted.

"Boss, quote a price! These two pieces!"

Jin Muchen put the three-piece suit in his hand on the table, and then asked the boss, who touched his chin.

"Evans' lighter costs 3,000 yuan, and this Lonson three-piece set costs 8,000 yuan!"

"Okay, deal!"

Jin Muchen didn't hesitate at all, and agreed immediately. The boss was very happy to see Jin Muchen so forthright.

Evans' lighters are also collected by many people in China, but most of them are industrialized products produced in large quantities after the 1940s.

The stainless steel cigarette case and the lighter are integrated. Such a lighter generally depends on the condition of preservation. If the condition is good, it is 300 to 1,000 yuan.

And his Evans lighter is a product before the 1940s, and the quality of copper tire enamel is rare, so the price of 3,000 is not excessive.

In addition, the Lanson lighter, not to mention the three-piece gilt-bronze all-porcelain set, is so well preserved that it is definitely a rare quality product in China.

Although Langson's lighters are currently between 500 and 1,500 in the domestic market, he would need 8,000 for such a complete three-piece set, which is definitely not much.

This is the boss's idea, and Jin Muchen's thinking is that the two sets of lighters cost less than two thousand dollars. If they are brought back to the United States, it will not be a problem to double them.

What's more, the purpose of his coming to this hometown of Guangdong was actually not above the two lighters. His purpose was the three vases on another shelf next to the ancient shelf.

These three vases look very strange. At first glance, it can be seen that they are definitely not Chinese style, and the colors are also very strange.

It's not the kind of painted color we can commonly see on porcelain. The base color of gilt copper is decorated with a purple glaze, but it looks a bit distorted. In the vernacular, it is a color thief. With this vase The strange shape makes these three vases look weird.

If you are a player of Chinese porcelain, if you take a look at these vases, you will probably feel that your eyes will be polluted.

Because compared with ancient Chinese porcelain vases, these three vases can only be described in four words, that is, they are nondescript!

Not to mention the shape, there is absolutely no atmosphere of Chinese vases, round, dignified momentum.

If we have to make a comparison, then the antique vases in China are the kind of noble and elegant beauties, and these three vases, in terms of shape, are the hippie killing Matt on the street. In other words, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is not comparable at all.

From the perspective of the painting on the bottle, not to mention the statues on Chinese antique vases, all pay attention to lifelike, festive, or majestic images. Carefully selected.

Therefore, after it is fired, the color painting on the bottle body looks lifelike, the picture is clearly expressed, and the color of the bottle body is also oily.

And these three vases have no painted patterns at all, let alone the color. The background color is the color of gilt copper. Nima plated the color of gilt copper on the outer layer of the porcelain, which is the brain hole. Only the foreign devil can think of it, and it looks so weird when it is matched with that thief purple.

Of course, this is the judgment of ordinary collectors on these three vases, but Jin Muchen has a different interpretation of these three vases. Although he does not know the origin of these vases, the reason why he is attracted by these three vases is because The bright purple glow of the three vases is constantly flashing.

Just from those purple lights, he decided in his heart that these three vases must be amazing treasures! (To be continued..) R527
